What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?
You get charge discrepancies in the atom. So an atom that has more electrons than protons (say a chlorine anion) will have a net, negative charge. An atom that has more protons than electrons will have a net positive charge. A charged particle is more reactive than a neutral one.
What is the difference between a positively and negatively charged atom and how does it occur?
The difference is how many protons and electrons. Protons are positive, (both "p's" easier to remember) so if there are more electrons it's negative, less electrons it's positive. When atoms have electrons added or subtracted it changes the charge, then they are known as ions. The atomic number is how many protons there are, this never changes, if it does there is a different element.
How many electrons are in the uni-positive ion of sodium?
There are less electrons than protons in a positive ion. More information is needed to determine the exact number. Here is an example: How many electrons are in a carbon ion with a positive charge of positive 2e? There are 6 protons in carbon (since it is element number 6). Since it has a charge of +2, there will be 2 less electrons than protons, so the number of electrons would be 4.
What particle has 78 electrons and 81 protons?
It is an atom. The only atom with 81 protons, i.e. atomic number 81, is Thallium, Tl. If it has 3 less electrons it has 3+ positive charge. So it is the Tl3+ ion. Note you usually encounter Thallium as Tl+ . In thsi respect it is different from the other members of Group 13.
Do the sign positive or negative of the charge affect how that charge is dissipated?
The dissipation of charge comes from electron flow, regardless of how it was charged. The balance of electrons (which have a negative charge) to protons (which are positively charged) determine if the charge of the object. Protons are in the nucleus and will not leave the nucleus without some sort of nuclear reaction or decay. Also, if protons leave or are added to the nucleus, the element changes. Electrons orbit the nucleus, and are much easier to get to move from one atom to another. By rubbing two objects together, electrons can move from one of the objects to the other. If the objects are separated, then one of them has less electrons than before - this now has a net positive charge (there are more protons than electrons). The other object has a net negative charge (more electrons than protons). If a third object is touched, then the positively charged object may attract some electrons from this third object until the charge is neutralized. If the negative object touches another object, then it will give away the excess electrons so that it has a neutral charge. In both cases it is electron flow, just the direction of flow is different.
How does electrons shielding affect atomic size as you move down the group?
Shielding affect acts as a barrier for proton to attract electrons, therefore the electrostatic force (the which attracts electrons to protons) becomes much less and electrons become further away from the nucleus of the atom. Because of this, the atomic size increases as you move down the group.
What happens if a particle has less protons than electrons?
The atom will become negatively charged (protons are positive and electrons are negative.)
What does it mean if an atom is said to be charged?
It means that the atom has more or less electrons than protons, making it either positive (less electrons than proton), or negative (more electrons than protons).
Why is silver a better conductor than gold?
Gold has more electrons than silver. As such gold will also have more protons. Because of the opposite charges of the protons and electrons there will be a greater force of attraction between the electrons and the nucleus than there is in silver as silver has less protons. The valence electrons in silver are further away from the nucleus than the valence electrons in gold and they are therefore less attracted to the nucleus The valence electrons in silver can be lost more easily than those in gold in order to conduct heat and electricity.
Does a negative ion have more protons or electrons?
Protons are positively charged. Neutrons are neutrally charged. Electrons are negatively charged. Therefore if an atom is positively charged, it could have any amount of protons or neutrons, one does not need to be more than the other. However we can say it will definitely have more protons than electrons.
Does Mg 2 contains 15 protons and 10 electrons?
Does Mg 2 contain 15 protons and 10 electrons
What kind of atom has less electrons than protons?
anion
What atom has more or less electrons than it has protons?
Ion
What do you get when the number of protons and electrons in your model is not equal?
Cations are formed if electrons are less. Anions are formed if electrons are more.
What particle control the 'weight' of an atom?
The protons and neutrons, but not the electrons since they are about thousand times lighter than protons and neutrons.
Have about 1800 times less mass than protons and neutrons?
Electrons have ~1800 times less mass than protons and neutrons
What would happen to an object if number of protons and electrons are not equal?
You get charge discrepancies in the atom. So an atom that has more electrons than protons (say a chlorine anion) will have a net, negative charge. An atom that has more protons than electrons will have a net positive charge. A charged particle is more reactive than a neutral one.
